Excerpt:
“Eric
introduced us to Michelle, the phlebotomist. “What is a
phlebotomist?” asked Haley. “A phlebotomist is a person who
specializes in drawing a patient’s blood for testing,” said
Michelle. Suddenly, Nathaniel got an interesting look on his
face and raised his hand. “Yessss,” said Michelle.
“Is your job sort of like being a vampire?” Nathaniel
asked. The entire class laughed and turned to look at
Michelle. “No,” she chuckled.
“I
learned about all of the different areas that doctors could
specialize in, for example, Dr Herrera was a podiatrist, and he
specialized in treating patients with feet problems. Dr. Osborn
was a neurologists; she specialized in helping patients with nervous
system disorders. We also met Dr. Chadwick, the hospital’s
pharmacist; she helped patients get the medicine that they needed in
order to help them feel better.”

Garcia's Class Visits the Hospital is the first book written by
